In the first stage, we trace the process from the front end, and in the second stage, we analyze the trace to identify the tables impacted.   To avoid unnecessary overheads in the trace, please note the following: 1.       Take the trace in the Dev machine where you are the only user logged in. 2.       Ensure there are no integrations or API calls being executed on the machine. 3...
